Abstract: A paper sheet processing apparatus includes: an insertion slot through which a paper sheet is inserted; a sensor which detects insertion of the paper sheet; a traveling route through which the paper sheet is conveyed; a light emitting part which irradiates the traveling route with light; a light receiving part which receives light from the traveling route; a black calibration part which sets a reference value for the lowest brightness in a state that the emission of the light emitting part is ineffective; and an authenticity judgment processing part which judges an authenticity. The black calibration part can set the reference value before the authenticity judgment processing part judges the authenticity after the sensor detects the insertion of the paper sheet at every time when the paper sheet is inserted.

Abstract: A paper sheet processing apparatus which can accurately determine whether the paper sheet is legitimate or not even if a conveyor member has a manufacturing error. The apparatus includes: a conveyor roller to convey the paper sheet inserted into an insertion slot; a paper sheet reader to read the paper sheet; a detector to detect an actual measurement value in the predetermined area along a traveling direction of the paper sheet; a storage to store a reference value of length; and an authenticity judgment part to judge the authenticity of the paper sheet based on a comparison of the actual measurement value and the reference value. The reference value is determined based on length calculated by reading a legitimate paper sheet, a theoretical value of the length in the predetermined area, and a predetermined tolerant value for a legitimate paper sheet.

Abstract: A bill handling apparatus according to one embodiment of the invention has a frame provided with a bill feeding path in which a bill is fed and with side wall portions provided in the width direction of the bill feeding path, a bill reading section installed in the frame to read a fed bill, and a bill identifying section for identifying authentication of the bill read by the bill reading section.
